I have Cornish Cross chicks who are being brooded with my Broad Breasted White turkeys..
They are coming up on 3 weeks of age, and are growing INSANELY fast.
I am supplementing their feed with additional calcium, in the form of powdered oyster shell in an attempt to help prevent any leg issues... (I know, I know...)
I would also like to start restricting feed as well to slow down their growth rate a bit...
Can anyone tell me when is a good time to start doing that with the Cornish? And is it safe to do it with the turkeys in there as well> (The turkeys are just a few days older)
I removed their food for a night a few days ago, and when I walked in the next morning to feed, one of the chicks was dead. I dont know if this had anything to do with the fact that I removed their food for the night though...
